Crooklands Wharf
The main water supply for the Lancaster Canal comes from the reservoir at Killington Lake, near the motorway services of the same name. It travels along the Killington and Peasey Becks until it is diverted into a channel near Crooklands and fed down to the canal itself by the old wharf. (See historic map 74601). This picture shows the point where the feeder channel empties into the canal. The culvert behind the fence takes the water under the A65 road. The M6 motorway crosses the canal three times to the south of this point but small culverts were installed to allow the water to pass down to the navigable section beyond Tewitfield.
